¦ Saturday, Feb. 15: The Bar-Kays originated as Stax Records' house band in 1966, offering the sound of soul in a city known for singing the blues and birthing rock 'n' roll. The Bar-Kays released 29 albums, including one with platinum sales (1 million) and five that went gold (500,000 sold). The band's 20 Top 10 singles included the 1967 smash "Soulfinger."

Their vibrant approach landed them a backup spot on a worldwide tour with Otis Redding, but it ended in tragedy, with Redding and four band members perishing in a 1967 plane crash.

The Bar-Kays soldiered on, recruiting vocalist Larry Dodson. The new edition went on to play on Stax records behind such artists as Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Albert King, Soul Children and Isaac Hayes. They were integral to Hayes' landmark albums "Hot Buttered Soul," "Black Moses" and the Grammy-winning "Shaft."

Besides Dodson, the current incarnation features founding member James Alexander, who plays bass. Other members of the band are guitarists Mike Anderson and Tony Gentry, keyboardists Mark Bynum and Ezra Williams, drummer Carlos Sargent, background vocalists Darrel Stanley and Archie Love and sound engineer Bryant Nesbitt.

Shows start at 7 and 10 p.m. General seating is $20; VIP seating is $30. The first 100 tickets bought at the restaurant will be discounted by $5.
